Project BD– Testing Technologies and Integration

Project BD – Weapons Effects Technologies / 65.4 / 67.5 / 73.6 / 75.3 / 75.5 / 76.9 / 78.7 / 80.6
  1. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification:
  • Project BD provides the research and development underpinning for the next generation of agent defeat, deny and disrupt counterforce weapon development and application of products and services to meet Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and other special weapons effects challenges using state-of-the-art science and engineering capabilities, including advanced first principles analysis, engineering modeling, simulation and networking technologies, novel payload development and evaluation capability, and precision laboratory scale and field testing capabilities (supported by Project BE-Testing Technologies and Integration). This project will develop an over-arching framework for all Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and high Explosive (CBRNE) related modeling and simulation tools as well as the next generation of counterforce agent defeat, deny, and disrupt operational capability. Initially, the focus of the modeling component will be on producing the Integrated WMD Toolset (IWMDT) that will provide Department of Defense (DoD) users access to valid WMD tools in a consistent fashion and provide for standardized Configuration Management (CM) and Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) of all included model components and systems. The counterforce Agent Defeat (AD) weapon component will initially pursue two tracks, one focused on extending the lethality of agent defeat payloads to include a persistent constituent in both the plume and near debris field and a second on developing the advanced diagnostic capability required for both sub- and full-scale evaluations of these payloads. Subsequent efforts will focus on the development of deny payloads and payloads with a specific interaction with ISR assets for improved post attack assessment capability. Initiatives supported by this project include, but are not limited to, such activities as follow:
  • Integrating and applying advanced capabilities to improve decision making effectiveness in the face of rapidly evolving WMD threats in both military and civilian sectors. Products being developed include CBRNE target planning and assessment tools, CBRNE hazardous materials transport and collateral effects prediction tools, tools and technologies to mitigate and assess the effects of hazardous material on facilities and people, and consequence assessment/management tools to evaluate and respond to such events. Models and tools developed support Project BK-Counterforce in PE 0603160BR, Proliferation Prevention Defeat
  • Developing technologies to support force protection assessments, forensic analysis of terrorist events and advanced blast mitigation/retrofit techniques. Tools developed in this project support other projects including Project BC-Force Protection and Technology Applications in PE 0602717BR, WMD Defense Technologies, and Project BF-CP Operational Warfighter Support, as well as civilian, antiterrorism and disaster response support organizations;
  • Developing and validating Chemical/Biological Warfare (CBW) defeat and disrupt weapon effectiveness and collateral release diagnostics for the Hard and Deeply Buried Target (HDBT), Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) facility testbeds;
  • Providing, maintaining and applying the weapons of mass destruction technology base. The technology base applies expertise developed originally for nuclear weapon detonation(s) phenomenology (subsurface through exo-atmospheric), the evolution of the resulting disturbed environment, and the effects of that environment on systems. The expertise has expanded to all weapons of mass destruction. This is accomplished by providing weapons effects technology and information to U.S. and Allied weapon systems developers, government planners, operators, doctrine authors, and decision makers;
  • Developing the next generation of thermal based Agent Defeat payloads for inclusion in both direct and stand-off munitions;
  • Developing novel payloads that can effectively defeat complex agent targets combinations of both Biological Weapons (BW) and Chemical Weapons (CW) agents
  • Developing and maintaining the technical capability to predict the impact of the effects of weapons of mass destruction on all aspects of warfighting, to include communications, radar and optical sensor systems and to support DoD components in the analysis and prediction of the response of systems that must operate in nuclear and naturally disturbed environments.
  • An integral component of this project is the provision of access to state-of-the-art high-performance computing (HPC) machines, high-speed connectivity, and superior technical support to DTRA researchers nationwide.
  • DTRA is the Department of Defense center of excellence for nuclear weapon burst phenomenology and the resulting interaction with military and civilian systems. Starting with weapon output calculations, DTRA develops the tools for predicting the subsequent evolution of all nuclear weapon induced effects including the blast and shock interactions for low-altitude, surface and sub-surface nuclear explosions; electromagnetic pulse (EMP); prompt, delayed, and trapped radiation; plasma and radioactive debris history. These efforts rely on ready access to high-performance computing (HPC) resources to enable the efficient solution of the resultant large-scale numerical simulations.
  • DTRA shares a stewardship responsibility with the special weapons related defense community to maintain the Nation’s core nuclear competencies and to successfully pass on this knowledge base and critical skills to the next generation of defense oriented scientists, engineers and weapon system developers. This is provided through the Knowledge Application project, a tight integration of three efforts - Defense Threat Reduction Information Analysis Center (DTRIAC), Data Archival and Retrieval Enhancement (DARE), and Graybeard – dedicated to the collection and preservation of the data and knowledge derived during more than 50 years of nuclear weapons effects testing and studies; and a fourth effort, the Knowledge Applications component, that capitalizes on the expertise derived from these three programs by applying it to current Agency technical programs. Today this research is based on simulations and high fidelity calculations requiring correlation with this "legacy" data for validation.
  • Assist in the development of a NationalCenter for Blast Mitigation which will comprise of predictions of blast effects on structures, development of blast mitigation/protection techniques, the development of forensic techniques to obtain intelligence and aid in policy making and strategic decisions in the areas of building codes and safe perimeter certification.
